Shit, just renewed with an EV cert. This does explain why they were such sticklers for details this time around.

Does anyone remember when Symantec products (nee Norton products) were actually a good thing and made computers run better?

In my opinion their business model (and McAfee's business model as well) seemed to transition from cure to competing pathogen somewhere between 1998 and 2003.

I miss the old Norton.
